Week of April 27-May 1

We will begin our study of BUGS this week! We will learn about bug safety first, then go on an insect hunt around the grounds of the school. We will also learn about the differences in various insects as we play "BUG-O". Students are encouraged to bring in insects, dead or alive, and insect photos to add to our classroom display.
We are beginning our last anthology in our Scott Foresman reading series! We will complete the skills test for Unit 5 this week. The anthology needs to be returned by Friday. Enjoy reading the stories with your child.
In Math, we are continuing to learn about place value and adding and subtracting two digit numbers.
Friday, the whole school will kick off MARE, which stands for Marine Activities and Resources in Education. First grade learns about the rocky seashore and tidepools.
I hope everyone has a very nice week!
